Hi Bob,
Digging up an old thread.
Just wondering, did you go ahead with one of the budget 220V 1P / 380V 3P VFD? Any feedback?
I've searched the MWF without much success.
Cheers

For anyone interested and assuming Ian is referring to 1095 grade, the 6 off 12"x 6" shim stock packs seem to be once again available on Amazon? Simply search for '1095 shim stock'.
